Labour Migration Issue in the EU and the Effect on Labour Markets Azarkhan Asadli Matricola: 511732

Abstract

The research dissertation on labour migration issue in the European Union and the effect on Labour markets aims at identifying the various trends in migration by immigrants for work or for family reunification. This is highlighted through a basic background into the theories of migration and their effect on the economic development of the country. This is then, linked together with immigrant incorporation in the European Union while drawing specific focus on the trends of migration with the subsequent policies for the management of these migratory pattern. Moreover, the research takes country specific examples of United Kingdom, Italy and France in highlighting the policy initiatives that the authorities have implemented for the management of immigrants, most important and effective of which were the regularization schemes. Lastly, the dissertation analyses the impact of these policies which deem to ambiguous and lacking in transparency and lays down three inherent policy recommendations based on the already entrenched regulations within the system.

1. Introduction 1.1 Research Aim

The aim of the research dissertation is to highlight and analyse the impact of migration policies on immigrant incorporation within the labour market in European Union. The primary objective of the dissertation is to analyse these impacts through understanding the flow of migrants within the European Union through an analysis of the national policies and subsequently the impact of migrants to the economy. This will be done through an inductive research into various countries present within the European Union and their policies for migration.

1.2 Research Questions

Research questions have been devised at the beginning of the research to allow the researcher to take a step by step approach in answering the problem statement, that is, the impact of migration policies within the labour market in European Union. (1) What is migration?

(2) What is immigrant incorporation?

(3) What is the status of the current labour market within the European Union? (4) What are the pull and push factors that affect the rate of migration within

European Union?

(5) What are the different policies implemented within different countries in the European Union that impact the flow of migrants?

(6) What constitutes economic growth and how is it possible to measure it. (7) In the past decade, how has been the flow of migrants into European Union? (8) What specific models may be employed to analyse the effect of the flow of

migrants within the European Union?

(9) Which countries within the European Union have a higher flow of migrants and what is the reason for this flow?

(10) How can European Union through use of policy initiatives enhance the positive impact of migration and prevent the negative impacts?

1.3 Migration

Migration has been referred to as the movement of individuals or groups of people for a variety of reasons which may include global, domestic, natural and other kind of disasters, better employment opportunities, extreme weather conditions, political asylum, poverty and maybe a change of environment voluntarily.

It was stated in the 2005 population consensus that about one third of the total human population accounting for roughly one hundred and ninety one million people have migration from one region to another. International Organization for Migration, 2008, in their report stated that in the year 2008, this number from 2005 went up to two hundred million people migrating and most of them constituted the Asian community. However, the authenticity of these numbers can be debated since a large majority of individuals that migrate are either illegal or concealed workers and therefore they are not accounted for the consensus. It would seem then therefore, that the aforementioned number while give a general idea of an increase in a trend towards migrating however it is not representative of the actual number of individuals that have migrated globally.

When looking at why people migrate, a number of push and pull factors come into play, which influences the decision of individuals or groups to migrate. An attracting pull factor will be better opportunities for employment or economic development which is most likely seen in urban migration from rural areas. A push factor will encompass any factor which is deemed to push the individuals out of a particular country or a region such as poverty, political unrest, natural or otherwise economic disaster. An example of push factors coming into play for migration is the movement of groups of people from the Sub continent into United Kingdom in the 1940s given the dire economic and political conditions of the country.

The increase in the rate of migration has been experienced throughout the globe. An example is United States, whereby it was illustrated through a comparative analysis that roughly one thousand and forty two million people migrated to the country which had increased from eight hundred and forty one million in just ten years. Another example is Israel, which unlike the United States has experienced a decrease in the rate of migration from sixty thousand in 2000 to only sixteen thousand in 2010. Both examples illustrate the role that the push and pull factors plays in this scenario, United States for example is a developed country with employment opportunities and political stability which are pull factors for individuals, whereby the political unrest in Israel is a push factor which repels the flow of migration into the country.

1.4 Immigrant Incorporation, Labour Market and European Union

Immigrant incorporation, interchangeably used with integration refers to the assimilation of migrant workers within the host country through the labour market. It is a sub category of the field of migration and where it has been undergoing extensive research within the United States, there is lack of evidence prima facie on the immigrant incorporation within the European states. It has been observed however that immigrant incorporation within the European Union is regulated by the use of public policies, and it revolves around changes to the structure of the institution including identity and citizenship of the individual.

This section aims at highlighting the relationship between immigration and the labour market within the European Union which can form the basis of the literature review and analysis below. On the face of it, it would seem that with the increase in migration, the wages would invariably go low because of the influx of workers, but if these wages are not maintained at a flexible average then this would lead to unemployment. However, research shows very little impact on employment by migrating individuals.

Where an economy is a closed one comprising mostly of native workers inducing a fixed supply of labour and a capital stock that is also fixed, then the influx of immigrant workers would invariably reduce the wages but induce an increase in the income. In such an economy, if the wages are not adjusting to the change in the supply of labour, from natives to migrant workers, then the unemployment will rise in the economy.

On the other hand, an open economy which does not have a fixed capital stock or labour, undergoes an influx of immigrants than the investors would increase the capital till it matched the supply of labour. Authorities usually employ the international capital mobility to enhance the efficiency of the process which leads to stability in the aggregate wage rate, especially in the long term whereby the capital stock is automatically adjusted to match the change in the supply of labour. Moreover, the adjustment of the structures of productivity and the market of goods will result in a neutralizing impact on the rate of employment and maintaining the aggregate wage. A way of illustration of this example is to take an economy which is involved in the production of both goods that are capital intensive and labour intensive. In such a case, the increase in the number of immigrants would lead to enhanced production of goods that are labour intensive and it results in a decrease in the amount of exports for capital intensive goods and reduced imports of labour intensive goods. Until this kind of economy cannot fluctuate the prices of the goods market internationally, then the influx of migrant workers will have minimal or no effect on the wages or employment thereby maintaining stability. Even if this was not to be the case, in such circumstances, the structures of

production and goods market adjustments neutralize or prevent the effects of the fluctuating flow of immigrant workers.

It is observed therefore that migration does not necessarily have an impact on the labour market, however, this cannot be said with surety about all the various groups found within the labour market including, work experience, ethnicity, education, origin, nationality and various other characteristics. It is important to note here that these characteristics cannot be substituted with the increased supply of labour. For example, in a project that requires the use of skilled engineers it will not be probable to replace them with unskilled labour workers. As a result of this, even where the average wage remains constant and the rate of employment is stable, but an influx of migrant workers would lead to decrease in wages of the unskilled labour thereby affecting the employment rate but invariably increase the demand of labour and wages for the engineers. Therefore, the inherent structure of the migrant workers is important since even though it may not affect the aggregate wage or the employment rate but it does create a wining and loosing income structures in the economy.

The impact on earnings of individuals and the opportunities for employment can only be measured through clear determination of the structure of the immigrants. However, unlike the wages, this can have an effect on the aggregate rate of unemployment, this is exemplified by taking the example of a labour market comprising of two distinct segments where one is flexible in wage rates and has no unemployment whereas the other that has high unemployment and very inflexible wage rates (Schroder, 2007). An increase in the immigrant workforce in the first market segment would lead to a reduction in the wages but enhanced production thereby increasing the demand for labour in the second segment of the market. In a second that is rigid with wage flexibility, an increase in the immigrant workforce demand would lead to a decline in the aggregate rate of unemployment. However, this will not hold true if the workforce increases through immigration.

Immigration can have varying effects on the welfare and the income within the economy, but a diverse immigrant workforce would apply comparative advantage to their benefit and not only enhance the productivity but also the technological procedures. An influx of skilled migrant workers into the United States is the prime example of how this has boosted the innovation and technological procedures (Puchala, 1997). On the other hand, unskilled immigrant workforce may also have a similar affect on the host economy by allowing the native individuals to invest into the human capital and foster the rate of growth and innovation domestically.

The aforementioned relationship described by the literature above highlights the manipulation of capital stocks and goods market internationally to mitigate any negative impacts experienced through the influx of immigrant workers. However,

the noteworthy point here is that immigration effects the aggregate rate of employment and the aggregate wage in different ways in different sectors of the economy.

1.5 Outline

The dissertation has been divided, for not only the convenience of the researcher but also effective presentation of data, into five distinct chapters. The first chapter of the dissertation is an introductory chapter which highlights the aim of the research dissertation, that is, to highlight and analyse the impact of migration policies on immigrant incorporation within the labour market in European Union through a comparative analysis of the policies and trends of migration. The chapter, further lists down research questions which help the researcher in defining the methodology of the research while allowing a step by step approach to answering the problem statement. Moreover, the chapter briefly highlights the two notions that are inherent to the research dissertation: migration and the relationship between immigrant incorporation and the labour market within the European Union.

The second chapter of the research dissertation begins the literature review through an all-inclusive approach to identifying the different theories of migration. This involves looking into prominent theories, their factors and their equations as may be applicable to the European Union today. The purpose of this section primarily is to lay the basic foundation for the next two chapters that involve intensive literature review.

The literature review is then steered towards a specific immigrant pattern found within the European Union. This is done through dividing the chapter into two sub categories: namely, the current trends that have been observed by the analysts with regards to immigrant workforce within the European Union and second, the policies that have been implemented by the European Union to manage the migration influx. This is important because immigrant incorporation has been dependent upon policy initiatives and implementation for effective results as illustrated in the next chapter.

The last part of the literature review draws the discussion to an even more specific focus towards the immigrant incorporation within the labour market in the European Union by drawing examples from Italy, United Kingdom, France and Netherlands for a comparison of the policies, their impacts and the subsequent migration trends found within these countries. The chapter, furthermore, takes the literature review further deep by illustrating the outcomes that the labour market can realistically give to the immigrant workers and the impact of these immigrant workers on the labour market within the European Union.

The third chapter lays down the detailed methodology that has been employed as a part of this research dissertation to highlight and analyse the impact of migration policies on immigrant incorporation in the labour market within the European Union. This involves going back to the research questions and devising a step by step approach in aiming to answer the research questions while devising the hypothesis of the dissertation, so that the problem statement for the research dissertation can be addressed.

The forth chapter of the dissertation works in conjunction with chapter three and four of the research and draws an analytical reasoning for the impact of the policies implemented by the European Union. The chapter further lays down some policy recommendations which may be employed for enhanced benefits of the immigrant workforce influx and mitigation of negative impacts. Lastly, the chapter concludes the dissertation by providing a summary of the findings and discussion through inductive reasoning and analysis.

The last chapter of the dissertation provides the list references, laid down in alphabetical order, that have been used throughout this research dissertation, either in whole or in part.

2. Literature Review

There seems to endless research on migration and economic growth, both of which are intrinsically related to each other, which has been highlighted by Ratha, 2003, that remittance flows that are a result of immigrant workforce have far reaching impact on the growth of the economy of various countries. It has been further stated by various researchers that the remittance by foreign workers is the largest contributor to the economic growth of a country even more than any international aid that may be provided. This section lays down eight distinct theories of migration which effect the economic growth of any country.

2.1 Theories of Migration

Thеrе is a mutuаl rеlаtion bеtwееn migrаtion аnd lаbour supply in еconomy of countriеs which wе cаn аssumе аs mеchаnism in which both of componеnts аrе chаnging rеspеct to еаch othеr. Whаt cаn bе аssumеd аs diffеrеncе is thаt, whilе cаpitаl inclinеs to flow from plаcеs with low rаtеs of rеturn to plаcеs with high rаtеs of rеturn, lаbour inclinеs to chаngе its plаcе from whеrе pеoplе еxpеriеncе low rаtеs of wаgе or othеr chаllеngеs which lеаd to chаnging spаcе to plаcеs with highеr rаtеs of wаgе аnd bеttеr living conditions.

Our first modеl is а Solow-Swаn modеl. Thе onе of thе convеniеnt mеthods to stаrt invеstigаtion of thе rеlаtion bеtwееn migrаtion аnd growth is аnаlysing thе Solow-Swаn modеl, which supposеs а closеd еconomy аnd аn еnvironmеntаl, pеrmаnеnt sаving rаtе. Thе еxpаnsion to consolidаtе migrаtion indicаtеs thаt еconomiеs cаn bе opеn to somе еxtеnt; nаmеly, thе procеss of migrаtion involvеs somе еxtеnt of fluidity of rаw lаbour cаpitаl.

Looking up Solow-Swаn modеl, wе cаn dеrivе somе аssumptions аbout mobility of pеrsons which is аssumеd аs аllowеd circumstаncе, but in аddition, thе еconomy is closеd in rеgаrd to еxtеrnаl goods аnd propеrtiеs. From this аssumption wе dеrivе thе insubstаntiаl аssumption аbout mobility of pеoplе which indicаtеs thаt pеoplе аrе morе mobilе rаthеr thаt physicаl cаpitаl. Еvеn though this аssumption is еxcеssivе, thе аnаlysis usеd to inducе somе impаcts of migrаtion on thе growth procеss.

In most cаsеs, migrаnts do not bring much physicаl cаpitаl such аs buildings or mаchinеs but аcquirе thе significаnt аmounts of humаn cаpitаl. Hеrе, к is thе аppropriаtе quаntity of this widе cаpitаl thаt еаch migrаnt brings in.

This dеprеciаtion is аssumеd аs еffеctivе аnd its rаtе is currеntly еnhаncеd by а migrаtion tеrm, m · [1 − ( / )]. Thе gеnеrаl tеrm would bе thе sаmе onе аs mеntionеd in prеvious modеls if m = 0 or if = аt аll pеriods of timе.

In cаsе of < , thе migrаtion tеrm, m · [1 − ( / )] аppеnds to thе bеnеficiаl dеprеciаtion rаtе in cаsе of m > 0 аnd dеducts from it in cаsе of m < 0. Thеrе is аlso а possibility for migrаnts hаving no cаpitаl, = 0, thе migrаtion rаtе, m, аppеnds onе-to-onе to thе еffortlеss populаtion growth rаtе, n, in thе аbovе mеntionеd еquаtion / = s · f ( )/ − (x + n + δ) − m · [1 − ( / )].

This аmount would bе аssociаtеd with thе totаl cаpitаl pеr еffеctuаl workеr thаt prеdominаtеs in thе immigrаnt’s nаtivе plаcе.

Hеrе I would likе to еxаminе onе еxpеrimеnt which is а shift of thе m( ) – migrаtion function. Thе migrаtion spеculаtion аssociаtеs thеsе shifts to

modificаtions in thе bеnеfits or costs rеlаtеd to moving. For instаncе, а dеcrеаsing of wаgе rаtеs or gеtting worsе in fаcilitiеs in dеstinеd countriеs rеsults with chаnging thе dеsirе аbout immigrаting to forеign countriеs аnd mаkеs migrаtion to locаl country morе аttrаctivе аnd in rеsult, shifts thе curvе of m( ) function upwаrd. Thеrе is onе significаnt mеаsurе which dеtеrminеs thе slopе of function: thе rаtio bеtwееn thе cаpаcity of migrаtion аnd thе rеаl cost of moving. If thеrе occurs rаpid incrеаsing of this cost аccordingly to thе аmount of migrаnts, thеn а chаngе in do not hаvе а nеcеssаry impаct on migrаtion, thеrеforе, thе curvе m( ) is compаrаtivеly flаt.

Lеt’s sеt thе ovеrаll migrаtion tеrm which occurs on right sidе of аbovе mеntionеd еquаtion (3) аs

ξ ( ) ≡ m( )·[1 − ( / )] (4)

whеrе thе growth rаtе of is dеtеrminеd by (1/ )· = s · f ( )/ − [x + n + δ + ξ( )] (5)

Thе bеnеficiаl аmortizаtion rаtе, x + n + δ + ξ( ), comprisеs thе tеrm ξ( ) on onе-to-onе frаmеwork. Thе m( ) pаrt of ξ( ) in еquаtion (4) аppеnds to thе

growth rаtе of еffеctuаl lаbour аnd thus to x + n. By invеstigаting, thе fаct is obsеrvеd thаt −m( )·( / ) pаrt of ξ( ) is thе nеgаtivе pаrt of thе impаct of thе migrаnts’ humаn cаpitаl on thе growth rаtе of thе locаl cаpitаl stock. This influx of humаn cаpitаl dеducts from thе еffеctuаl аmortizаtion rаtе.

If m( ) > 0, wе dеmonstrаtеd thаt wе could considеr аs irrеspеctivе of . In this turn, thе impаct of on ξ( ) is dеrivеd from еquаtion (4) by

ξ' ( ) = m' ( ) · [1 − ( / )] + m( ) · /

Thеrеby, ξ' ( ) > 0 trаcks from m' ( ) > 0, < , аnd m( ) > 0.

In cаsе, if m( ) < 0, wе dеmonstrаtеd thаt wе could considеr / аs constаnt. Thеrеforе, ξ' ( ) > 0 trаcks from еquаtion (4) duе to m' ( ) > 0 аnd < . Thus, wе supposе thаt, ξ' (kˆ) > 0 kееps whеthеr thе migrаtion rаtе is positivе or

nеgаtivе. It dеrivеs thаt а highеr incrеаsеs thе еffеctuаl аmortizаtion tеrm, x + n + δ + ξ( ), in еquаtion (5). In contrаst to prеvious modеls, this tеrm is not

indеpеndеncе of .

Our sеcond modеl is а Rаmsеy modеl. If wе usе thе Rаmsеy formulа to thе Solow-Swаn modеl thаt covеrs migrаtion, wе will gеt thе nеw rеsults which includе thе mutuаl rеlаtion bеtwееn thе choicеs of sаving rаtеs аnd migrаtion. Lеt focus on thе sеtup of thе Rаmsеy modеl with Migrаtion: Еntеring thе еconomy аt thе rаtе m(t), migrаnts movеs with thе quаntity of cаpitаl k(t), mаinly in thе form

of humаn cаpitаl. Аs, migrаnts cаnnot mаintаin аny finаnciаl clаims on forеign-sourcе incomе.

Thе mаin аssumption is thаt, immigrаnts` consumptions do not sееm аs аn аrgumеnt in thе inhаbitаnts` utility functions. Bеcаusе, еxcеpt thе childrеn of thе domеstic rеsidеnts, nobody cаrеs аbout thеm. This hypothеsis is аlso truе for еmigrаtion, m(t) <0. For instаncе, аn еntirе еxtеndеd fаmily еmigrаtеs, thеn it is normаl thаt thе rеmаining fаmiliеs do not cаrе аbout this. Nеvеrthеlеss, if onе or morе mеmbеrs of аny fаmily еmigrаtе аnd sеnd rеmittаncеs or gеt monеy from thе fаmily mеmbеrs who аrе in thе domеstic еconomy, thеn thе situаtion is morе complеx. Supposе thаt L(t) shows thе domеstic populаtion аt timе t:

L(t) = L(0) · _{· еxp}

(1)

L(0) is thе “nаtivеs” аt thе timе 0. Thе Immigrаnts, thеir fаmily аnd thе dеscеndаnts of thе “nаtivеs” form thе populаtion of thе lаtеr dаtеs. Hеncеforwаrd, wе аccеpt L(0) = 1. Аccording to thе vintаgе of аrrivаl in thе country, thе housеholds of immigrаnts аrе indеxеd by j ≥ 0. Considеring of nаtivеs` аrriving in thе country bеforе timе 0, wе notе j = 0-.

Now focus on thе аggrеgаtion rеsults аnd optimizаtion conditions of thе Rаmsеy modеl. Аt timе t, housеholds mаximizе utility:

U (j,t) = · _{} dv (2)}

а(j,t) is аssеts pеr pеrson, w(t) is cаllеd thе wаgе rаtе аnd it is thе sаmе for аll, аnd (t) is thе prеsеnt vаluе of futurе wаgеs pеr cаpitа:

(t) = · _{dv (6)}

Whеrе [1/(v − t)] is thе аvеrаgе intеrеst rаtе bеtwееn timеs v аnd t.

Аccording to our trаnsvеrsаlity condition thеprеsеnt vаluе of аssеts hаs to inclinе аsymptoticаlly to 0. If sum ovеr thе vintаgеs j for 0 ≤ j ≤ t of immigrаnts аt timе t, wе will find аn аggrеgаtе consumption:

C(t) = c( j,t) ·m( j ) ·L( j ) · _{]dj + ·c(0−, t) = (7) · ]}dj + · c(0−, t)}

А(t) = _{]}dj + а(0-, t) (8)}

Thе аggrеgаtе of thе prеsеnt vаluе of wаgе incomе is givеn from еquаtion (6) by

(8) аnd (9) аs:

To gеt еquаtion (10) wе usеd thе individuаl fаmily’s budgеt constrаint in еquаtion (4) аnd thе condition а(j,t)=κ(t); thаt is, immigrаnt fаmiliеs аrrivе with pеr cаpitа аssеts κ(t). Еquаtion (5) impliеs (t)=(ρ − n) · [ (t) + d /dt]. If wе usе еquаtions

(10) аnd (11) аnd thе condition А(t)= K(t), wе еvеntuаlly gеt аn еxprеssion for thе growth rаtе of pеr cаpitа consumption:

/c = r (t) − ρ − m(t) · (ρ − n) · [k(t) − κ(t)]/c(t) (12)

whеrе c(t)≡C(t)/L(t). This rеlаtion rеducеs to thе stаndаrd Rаmsеy rеsult undеr log utility if m(t)=0 or κ(t)=k(t). If m(t)>0 аnd κ(t)<k(t), thе inflow of migrаnts rеducеs pеr cаpitа consumption in аccordаncе with thе lаst tеrm on thе right-hаnd sidе of еquаtion (12). In this sеnsе, а highеr flow of migrаnts, m(t), works likе аn incrеаsе in ρ. This еffеct is аnаlogous to thе inflow of childrеn in thе Blаnchаrd (1985) modеl bеcаusе, аs Wеil (1989) pointеd out, immigrаnts аrе just likе Blаnchаrd’s unlovеd childrеn.

2.2 Migration and European Union.

It has been stated that in the year 2013, more than three point two percent of the total world population did not live in their country of origin. Europe itself has been known to be the home for migratory flows which is primarily accounted for to the unstable economic conditions and the struggle for geopolitical power within the European Union. An example is the post world war II migration, where a large amount of Polish inhabitants were forced to move to the western part of their country and Germany alone received several million migratory refugees that were

a part of the Nazi areas in Germany. In comparison, migration into European Union from other parts of the globe is a somewhat recent pattern, which began in the 1950s when European nations including France, Portugal, Netherlands and the United Kingdom lost their colonial powers which induced a migratory movement from the South East Asia, the Caribbean and the Southern part of Africa (Kahanec, 2012). A lot of nations within the European Union that had no colonial power had to sign up guest working agreements with migrants to overcome the labour shortage post world war II which resulted in a multi ethnic society. Within the 1980s the guest workers that had been signed temporarily initially had transformed into permanent residents which allowed further influx of migratory inhabitants for the purposes of unification with the family.

Similarly, another flow of migration workers was experienced towards the western part of Europe with the fall of the Iron Curtain. At about the same time, southern countries of Europe, such as Greece, Portugal and Spain received immigrant workforce from Latin America and northern parts of Africa. Also, with the expansion of the eastern part of the European Union, in the years 2004 and 2007, there was experienced an influx of migratory workforce towards the Western Europe (Glitz, 2011). However, it is pertinent to point out that with the beginning of the great period of recession; the migration into various European countries has either come to a minimal or completely stopped. Given the flow of migration, economists have been conducting various amounts of empirical and qualitative research into the impact of the immigrant workforce. For this purpose, the following section lays down the trends of migration into the European Union-15 followed by list of policy initiatives that have been implemented for the management of migratory inflow.

Before delving into the literature review for trends of migration, the researcher wishes to briefly discuss the certain variables that come into play when the rate of immigration increases. These variables have been discussed in the sections below, in particular with reference to the effects on the labour market. First and foremost, immigration leads to disparity in the standard of living. In most countries, laws for migrants in comparison to laws for locals are stringent which leads to harsher economic conditions and obstructions for migrants. An example is the housing arrangements which may be available to the locals on a nominal price but they will be exuberant for foreigners which leads to sufficient difference in the lifestyle of migrants, at least initially, from how they lived back home to how they are surviving in the new host country. Also, if the migrants comprise of unskilled labor in comparison to skilled labour then the standard of living will be drastically lower then that of locals since the former would have to send remittances back home leading to better individual household growth but leads to the individual migrant in a lifestyle that has just basic necessities. Another major impact that has been observed is the onset of civil wars. Sly, 2015, states that with the global

failure to resolve the war in Syria, the country became the largest source of individual refugees that flew from the country and which have resulted in an upheaval amongst the Middle Eastern countries as well. As the war within Syria continues, various European countries have realised that they are not equipped with handling Syrian immigrants that are with them permanently. Sly, who conducted interviews with various Syrian refugees stated that civil wars in the nearby continent that led to migration into Europe has led to great disparity since there is a supply of labour but not effective demand leading to higher unemployment rate and an overall regional failure.

2.3 Current Trends of Migration.

Until about halfway through the twentieth century, Europe has been a predominantly an emigrating country. Givens, 2007 state that until 1929, about fifty million Europeans had emigrated to countries like the United States, Canada, Argentina, Brazil and Argentina. There was an overall five percent of emigration rate which was not proportional to the inflow of migrants. However this changed post World War II, when Europe became the hub for immigrant workers. In the year 1960, three point five percent of the total world population was living in Europe, which increased to ten point three percent in the year 2013. The primary reason for this change was the change in the immigration policies implemented within different countries in European Union. The following figure on immigration within Europe depicts the migration influx in the European Union 15.

The reasons attributed for the change in migration policies was either recruitment of labour workforce or decolonization of the country. For example, United Kingdom and France, two most strong colonial powers within the European Union regulated their policies to welcome migrant workers from countries that were former colonies and various countries at the nothern part of European Union including Netherlands and Swizterland began recruiting of migrant workers after the economic crisis of the World War II predominantly from the southern part of European Union such as Greece and Turkey. Throughout the 1980s there is observed a steady flow of migrant workers into the European Union, however there exist two very important underlying changes: the expansion of the European Union with Spain, Protugal and Germany, and the composition mix of the migrants which consisted of families of already residing migrant workforce (Favell, 2001).

The European Union expeirenced varying amounts of political turbulence which brought about new waves and patterns of the migrant workforce. First and foremost, there was the fall of the Iron Curtain which gave rise to the migratory pattern from East towards the Western part of European Union, predominantly the Western Germany (Felbermayr, et al, 2010). The second most important even was the war that took place in the countries formerly combines together as Yugoslavia, whcih resulted in a huge amount of refugees. Another event that induced the flow of migrants was the expansion of the European Union itself, in the years 2004 and 2007 which brought about a movement from the eastern part of Europe to the western side. However, with the onset of the global economic recission, there was experienced a reduced influx of migrant workers but an increase in migration within the European Union itself from countries that had been affected most by the recession to the countries that had stablised their conditions.

Within the European Union itself, the policies implemented on a regional level allow complete freedom of movement however, all policies that allow forigen migrants is based on the specific country and their own prerogative. The European Economic Community Treat signed in 1957, lays down principles for European integration and give all residents of the European Union not only the freedom to move but also allows them to reside and enjoy the amneties equal to the local nationals (Dustmann and Fabbri, 2005). Two recent enlargement of the European Union, as stated above brought about the greatest migratory movements. In the 2004 enlargement, ten countries including Matla, Slovenia, Hungary, Lithuania, Slovakia, Poland, Estonia, Cyprus and Czech Republic, joined the existing member states of the European Union 15. This was followed by Bulgaria and Romania joining the European Union in 2007, which accounted for a total of twelve countries becoming a part of the European Union. Given the disparity in the levels of income in the recently acceded countries to the Union, there were high level concerns of migratory movements. Until about 2008, most of the

countries within the European Union with the exception of Sweden, Ireland and the United Kingdom, imposed a form a trasitional restriction to manage the

migratory movement. Until about 2009, a great number of Polish, Spanish and Romanians migrated to

mostly United Kingdom and Ireland. (Devitt, 2012)

The following figure on the immigrants within Europe illustrate the quantity of the migrants within the newly accessed countries and the subsequent overall share in the population in the new country.

Figure 2.3.2 Inflow of migrants in European Union post expansion. (Rita et al, 2013. )

The figure shows that in the year 2001, there were roughly one million emigrants from the Eastern part of Europe which accounted for a mere six point three percent. However, this number increased to account for about ninteen percent of the total population or about five point three million in the year 2011.

In the year 2014, the number of legal migrants within europe was approximately one point million, but towards the end of 2014 (Mouzeviris, 2015), the number of illegal immigrants within the territory accounted for 128,725 individuals, which is approximately one hundred and seventy percent more than it was the year before in 2013 (White, 2015). Then in 2015, there was an inrease of two hundred percent

which resulted in about three thousand five hundred people dying on the borders of the external European Union (Guiliani, 2015). Over nintey percent of the migrants use the sea via the Mediterranean to migrate into Europe, which has inevitably resulted in a fifty percent increase in the rate of migrants within Spain, twice as much in Greece and about eight time more than it was in 2013 for Italy (Sly, 2015). The Mediterranean is now facing stress and problems because the political turmoil within the Asian, Middle East and African region has forced huge waves of individuals to migrate towards Europe for a better living. In response to the huge influx from the Mediterranean region, the European Union began implementing joint ventures for response which did not have an effect neither on the rate of migration nor at the rate of deaths at the sea (De Patissta, 2015). In 2013, immigrants that flew from the African regions in response to the political calamity of the state, led to a death toll of approximately three hundred people which is not to be considered as an isolated event.

Over the recent years, three main routes for illegal immigration have been identified: the eastern maritime route comprising of Cyprus, Greece, Romania and Bulgaria, the Mediterranean centre comprising of Italy, Tunasia, Malta and Libya, and the western maritime route comprising of Morocco, Senegal, Portugal, Spain and Sahara (Erlanger, 2015). Out of these, the mediterranean route is the most popular followed by the eatern route, however, the western route after experiencing influx in the early 2014, but this has been managed with joint agreements between the member countries in the territory (Lima, 2015). The route through the eastern part of Europe had been the most popular route for illegal immigrants until the year 2012, primarily through Greece, however after the wall was built on the river of Evros, then the immigrants chose their entry via the Aegean Sea coast (White, 2015). The amount of migrants that have crossed illegally via this route has experienced a three fold increasein just the span of one year with about twenty eight hundred immigrants in the first half of 2014 to over ten thousand in the first three months of 2015 (Erlanger, 2015). Greece was the main country followed by Italy that was affected by this route and mostly comprised of greek and turkish sea traffickers followed by Syrian refugees. Following 2013, the main route chosen for illegal immigration is the Mediterrenean route which has experienced an increase of six times in just between 2013 and 2014 especially after the tragic incident at Lampedusa

(Cohen, 2015). Only from the italian coast, about fifty one thousand illegal immigrants were rescused from the sea through coordination with Frontex, but has fallen prey to italian mafia networks which used these illegal immigrants for labour trafiicking (White, 2015).

Most African countries, primarly the Mali which is a struggling country has also experienced an outflux of immigrants towards the European region, but it is observed that various stablization schemes between Morocco and Spain have been

implemented to counter the problems of labour trafficking (Cohen, 2015). The open sea place has become an ideal route for illegal immigrants and since it is primarily controlled by criminal groups which are expert at using legal loopholes to gain their purpose.

Most immigrants that are seen to fly from neighbouring countries are fleeting from voilence. The European Union created an agency called the Fontex with the primary aim of maritime security for controlling immigration and has to date led nine distinct operations aiming at the same. It is also pertinent to point out a particular incident that took place in the early 2015, whereby in May a suspected terrorist was arrested in Milan, under the attack done in Tunis and he had arrived to the Italian territory via the sea route which has resulted in serious security implications for not only Italy but tghe entire region as well.

Another example of the influx of migrants was seen through 2013 to 2015 with the tragedy at Lampedusa followed by abandoned cargo ships, which put immense pressure on the entire region to manage these events because it would lead to untimely death of the migrants through the sea smugglers.

The following section takes these trends in conjunction with the policies and highlights the implementation of these policies for management of the immigrant workforce.

2.4. Policies in European Union for Migration

The policies implemented within the European Union for the management of migrant influx can be divided into four broad categories: the citizenship access, policies for asylum and refugee seekers, policies on amnesties and border enforcement and lastly, attracting immigrants that are highly skilled.

Naturalization policy has been implemented throughout the European Union; however, this policy has been mostly dominant within the United Kingdom and Sweden. Within the last decade, however, there is observed a trend within the European Union for a sustained convergence towards a uniform framework of legal regulations (Clark et al, 2009). The Union has placed a great amount of significance on jus soli, which refers to the country of citizenship based on the birth of the individual. Other then the United Kingdom, most countries within the European Union have shown a growing preference for jus soli, a suitable illustration for which is the case of Turkish immigrants into Germany. Post war circumstances induced great migratory movements, particularly, from Turkey to Germany which gave rise to residents that were first or second generation of immigrants. As a response to the legal and social calamities, German authorities relaxed their immigration laws and allowed the residents that had grown their

roots within Germany, to become citizens (D Amuri et al, 2010). A particular regulation holds great importance here, such that from January, 2000, any child that is born to non German parents who have been residents of Germany for at least eight years, revised from fifteen years, are given an automatic citizenship, but are allowed to pick either one of the citizenships that they may be entitled to from the age of 18 till 23. Furthermore, most countries have amended their policies to connect the work permit with residency applications to bring about efficient facilitation of immigrants within the labour market. On the other hand, United Kingdom, Germany and France have recently introduced policies on the basic civic knowledge and working knowledge of the language to be able to gain citizenship, which has been expanded to include families of immigrants as well. Sweden has been known to have the highest number of asylum and refugee workers predominantly from Iraq and Somalia, which is closely followed by United Kingdom and France who gain refugees predominantly from Afghanistan, Serbia, Zimbabwe and Russia. Sweden and Germany have introduced a streamlined process to induce efficiency and transparency for the management of applications. Moreover, Sweden, has relaxed their immigration laws to include refugee applications from individuals who may fear prosecution based on either their sexual orientation or gender (Carrasso et al, 2008). Germany is not far behind on relaxation of policies for asylum or refugee seekers, whereby any refugee that is aiming to seek asylum is given work permit much faster than the rest. The Dublin II Regulation, signed in the year 2003, is the basic piece of regulation of applications for refugees and determines what particular European Union member state is held responsible for the examination of all refugee applications, which in most cases is the particular country through which the individual initially accessed the territory within the European Union (Cangiano, 2008). Even though the purpose of this regulation was the management of migrant workforce but it inevitably placed a huge burden on all the countries situated at the borders of the European Union such as Greece, where an increase of zero point nine percent was experienced in the rate of migrants between the years 2006 to 2010. Asylum seeking applications are closely intertwined with policies on border control which are discussed in the paragraph below.

Even though coordination has increased amongst the member states, border control and enforcement remains again largely an issue of national discretion. Two countries that have played a particular role in these policies are Italy and Spain because of their common border with the coastline of Northern Africa. Rapid Border Intervention Teams were formulated in 2007, which allows guards from different member states to be placed at the borders of the country experiencing inflow of illegal immigrants. For example, the political calamity in 2011 in Libya gave to large flow of migrants to Italy, who then had to place the Border Teams
